INVISIBLE
The curtains lifted up and orchids bled ,
The men with guns stood still
Not a bullet to fire nor a whip to swing
As men faced men to kill
A rose in every urn did I plant
As the wind came in halves -
Playing with the raging nerves
Leaving a white sky of whirling doves
While seasons in a queue did wait
Then a promise dessicated with tremors ,
Inside the lightbulb , flickered nights
And the canvas of painted summers
I plucked the kiss so shy
From over the peak of Everest
As the sun seduced snows
Sweeping moist madness over ocean's breast
I fed the hungry and washed all blood
Over naked ribs , an iridescent drama
The tender love in mama's lap
Where fullstops melted into comma
The right after wrongs , I erased
And left not a trace of change
For a lifetime they screamed
To bring back the hex so strange
Died the world as I left by
Away from sight , away from light
As the prisoner's tongue begged for rain
In forgotten memoirs lost by time's bite
